Leafs vs. Panthers Recap: Zach Attack

The Leafs played host to the Florida Panthers, who had recently laid 7-2 beating on them. As with all games at this point, it was fraught with playoff significance. Curtis McElhinney got the start in place of the injured Frederik Andersen, while RW Kasperi Kapanen got his first NHL game of the season on the fourth line.

First Period

The first part of the period moved very quickly, with some end-to-end movement. The first good chance came about 80 seconds in, when Jonathan Marchessault stepped past Matt Hunwick and was left free to cut through the slot.
